Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

"May I ask if you all have family members? Is there a family member in your heart that needs care or protection?"

This is Xiao Baihe's question.

This question is actually not difficult to answer.

Because in everyone's heart, there is a person who wants to protect.

This could be your child, it could be your lover, it could even be your parent.

Unless you're antisocial, there's bound to be someone in mind.

So after the question, many people in the jury nodded.

Xiao Baihe was very satisfied with the effect, so he struck while the iron was hot, and immediately asked the second question.

"If, this family member disappeared, how would you feel?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the jury were stunned, and then worried and angry, with different expressions.

"Your Honor, the prosecution accepts jurors No. 4, No. 5, No. 15, No. 22, and No. 24!"

Just one question, Xiao Baihe seemed to have found the expected jurors, and named five of them in a row.

"Well, then..." Judge Wang nodded and was about to start writing.

"Judge Wang, please wait a moment!"

But at this moment, a discordant voice came from the prosecution seat.

Seeing Zhang Wei get up, he also looked at the jury seat, "Your Excellency, the defense requests that jurors No. 5 and No. 15 be disqualified!"

After Xiao Baihe asked the question, the two jurors not only had angry expressions in their eyes, but also directly looked at Yang Chuanfang, who was in the defense seat.

Obviously, they directly blamed the death of Wen Xiaoyun or her family members on the person concerned.

To Yang Chuanfang, these were two hostile jurors.

How could Zhang Wei let such people stay in the jury box?

"Alright, then please leave the two candidate jurors!"

Judge Wang had no choice but to wave his hand at the two of them.

The two left the table, and Zhang Wei also sat down.

"Lawyer Zhang, the prosecution has selected five people, why did you only dismiss two?"

Yang Chuanfang immediately came up and asked a question.

"Young Master Yang, it's not that I don't want to eliminate more people, but that the defense only has 6 chances. If they use up 5 chances now, they will be too passive later on."

"Also, I'm not sure, is this the first question Xiao Baihe's temptation to me, the number of screenings that he wants to deceive me."

"So, I can only eliminate two of them who are obviously targeting you, and the rest can only be resigned to fate."

Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Yang Chuanfang could only nod his head, and at the same time thought to himself.

There are so many intrigues hidden in this small problem, it really... refreshed his cognition.

In court, Xiao Baihe continued to ask questions.

For two questions in a row, keywords such as family members were brought in when asking questions.

Then she screened out a few more Italian jurors, but unfortunately, every time she finished asking questions, she would look at the defense bench, but Zhang Wei never spoke.

"It's okay. The jurors this time didn't show too much hostility. Although Xiao Baihe expected it, we can accept it!"

Zhang Wei frowned and analyzed the selected jurors one by one, but he didn't waste the opportunity to eliminate them.

"It's quite calm!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei hadn't got up, Xiao Baihe also thought inwardly.

"It's your turn, Lawyer Zhang!"

Finally, she finally finished asking, and gave up the opportunity to ask questions.

Zhang Wei got up and came to the jury seat.

"Ahem, first of all, I want to ask, has any of you watched the drama "Hotel by the Sea" produced by Cheng Lisa?"

This question was not beyond the expectations of others, because most of the people present knew about this drama, and they also knew what story this drama was about.

Among the jury, more than 70% raised their hands because they had seen it all.

Seeing this number, Zhang Wei felt very bad, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, who made this drama so popular? The corresponding books, broadcasts, and even derivative products are all very popular.

It is really difficult to find a few people in the East who have never watched or even heard of this drama.

"That's fine, the second question, please jurors, please ask yourself..."

Zhang Wei touched his chest, and said solemnly: "Even if you have watched this drama, you can tell yourself that you can be fair and just to my client, and won't be affected in any way?"

The jury looked at each other, and several even closed their eyes, as if they were really asking themselves this question.

"Like, no..."

"I can't do it either..."

Among them, two or three women got up slowly and left the jury seat.

"Your Excellency, these three people left the table by themselves, I didn't get rid of them!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly explained to the jury, "They all think that they are not qualified to serve as jurors, and they cannot maintain a fair and just attitude towards my client. I believe everyone here can see this, right?"

"Well, of course I can see it!"

Judge Wang could only nod his head, what else can I do after you have said that?

"By the way, we will apply again to eliminate jurors No. 1, No. 3 and No. 9. Thank you for their participation!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, the expressions of the three jurors were slightly unwilling, but they had no choice but to leave.

"Hmph, you're pretending too much, obviously you can't be fair, but you still want to stay in the jury box!"

Zhang Wei watched the three leave the table, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

If these three stay, it will definitely be very dangerous to Yang Chuanfang.

"Do you still need to ask questions?"

Judge Wang saw that there was some silence, and his eyes turned to Xiao Baihe who was sitting down, and Zhang Wei who was in court.

Xiao Baihe shook her head, the prosecution obviously didn't intend to continue asking questions.

"Your Honor, I have one more question!"

"Oh, hurry up!"

Following Lao Wang's urging, Zhang Wei immediately walked to the jury seat.

"I would like to ask the jurors, do you agree with the concept of 'men become bad when they have money'?"

"this……"

The jurors looked at each other again, and many of them were dumbfounded.

There are quite a few answers to this question.

Because they have no money!

"Master, do you think this sentence is appropriate?"

Zhang Wei chose an old man and asked him to answer.

"I don't know, I've been a worker all my life, and I haven't made much money, but I think rich people don't have a heart!"

The old man's answer was straightforward, and Zhang Wei rejected him with tears in his eyes.

"Lawyer Zhang, are you done asking?"

"Judge Wang, can I speak again, I want to ask one more question!"

"Forget it, forget it, I'll give you one last chance!"

Zhang Wei still has the opportunity to eliminate jurors, and he will not waste it.

In the question just now, only one hostile juror was eliminated, which was not the result he wanted.

"Ahem, jurors, you must have heard the story of Sun Monkey when you were young, right?"

All the jurors looked at each other again, what kind of problem is this.

The story of Sun Houzi is well-known to everyone, and everyone has basically heard or watched related film and television works. This is a national-level figure in Longhua.

"Then when you were young, you must have thought Sun Monkey was real, right?"

After hearing this, many jurors couldn't help but nodded.

They did have fantasies when they were young that Sun Monkey is a real fairy and exists in real life.

"Then now, when you grow up and your parents and elders tell you that Sun Monkey is actually a fictional character, what do you think?"

"this……"

Hearing Zhang Wei's question, the jurors were once again confused.

This Nima...how shall we answer you?

When we knew Sun Houzi was a fictional character, we couldn't remember what we thought.

"Madam, what did you think when you first found out that Monkey Sun was a fiction?"

The woman rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I feel like a fool!"

"What about this gentleman?"

"I feel like I'm retarded!"

"And you?"

"I feel like a two hundred and fifty!"

"What about you, sir?"

"I think, okay..."

"Oh, it's okay, isn't it?"

Zhang Wei called the names of several jurors one after another, and finally found a person who had a different opinion from the other jurors.

"Judge Wang, we accept juror No. 12, No. 13 and No. 21, and at the same time request juror No. 17 to leave!"

Zhang Wei's question made him use up his last chance to eliminate.

As for the intention of this question, Zhang Wei had his own plans in mind.

"Very well, so we have a jury box!"

Judge Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The selection of jurors was finally over, and the preliminary trial was over.

"Ahem, let's check the time in this court. The court will start this Friday. Neither the prosecution nor the defense have any objections?"

Although the judge was the one who made the announcement, Old Wang felt that Zhang Wei and Xiao Baihe had to show some face, so he asked.

Xiao Baihe nodded, and Zhang Wei also smiled at Old Wang.

Neither of them had an opinion, that is to say, they both agreed.

"Well, the court will start this Friday morning, I hope you will not be late then!"

Judge Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to get up quickly.

Everything is done, hurry up and get ahead!

Zhang Wei and Xiao Baihe are preparing the documents respectively.

"Lawyer Zhang, this is the list of witnesses for the prosecution!"

"Prosecutor Xiao, here is our defense list!"

After the two finished their preparations, they each walked towards each other and handed out a list.

After Zhang Wei took over the list of witnesses, he scanned it roughly.

"Hey, aren't a few of these people interviewed in "Hotel by the Sea"?"

"They are all people who stayed in the hotel back then, and several of them are friends of your client. They attended that birthday party back then. It is inevitable to ask them to testify in court!"

Xiao Baihe explained in a cold voice, she naturally has no good looks towards Zhang Wei at the moment.

"Speaking of your list, why did you add her!"

Xiao Baihe also scanned Zhang Wei's list, and immediately found a name.

Cheng Wumei!

With the dominance of the trending black materials, everyone in Dongfang Capital now knows that Cheng Wumei is Cheng Lisha, a sister of the media industry.

The other party's real name was indeed Cheng Wumei, so it was understandable that her real name was written on the summons list.

"Lawyer Zhang, I remember that she was neither a resident of the hotel nor a participant of the birthday party, let alone the defendant Yang Chuanfang and the missing person Wen Xiaoyun?"

"But in the eyes of everyone in Dongfang Metropolis, she is indeed the person who understands the incident the most. If I ask her to make a statement in court, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xiao Baihe sneered in his heart, and gave Zhang Wei a blank look, "You are not afraid, if you invite her up, she won't cooperate with you?"

"That's better. By then, she will be a hostile witness. I can ask her leading questions. Wouldn't that be better?"

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and didn't care at all.

What's more, if this woman Cheng Lisha doesn't cooperate, then she will be more interested in her own interests.

Once hostile witnesses appear in court, the defense can do whatever they want!

"Hmph, you should think carefully about whether they will cooperate with you!"

Xiao Baihe gave Zhang Wei a blank look again, then scanned the first row of the hearing booth, then turned and left.

In the first row of the hearing booth, Cheng Lisha's team also started to get up and leave.

But just when she and Hu Yaode reached the gate of the hall, a court guard blocked their way.

"This is a subpoena, Ms. Cheng please keep it!"

Ting Wei glanced at Cheng Lisha and handed out a ticket.

"What the hell?"

Cheng Lisha didn't answer, but looked at Hu Yaode.

Why was she given a court summons?

Hu Yaode seemed to have guessed something, immediately took it from Tingwei's hand, and opened it for a look.

"Sure enough, that kid actually dared to do this..."

Hu Yaode handed the summons to Cheng Lisha, and whispered something in his ear.

"What, Zhang Wei asked me to be a defense witness!"

She cursed in a low voice, her eyes became extremely gloomy.

Cheng Lisha turned her head and looked at the defense party walking towards them.

This Zhang Wei not only wanted to summon her as a witness for the defense, but also from last night to this morning, the black material on the top was obviously written by the other party.

All these things add up, and the two of them are completely enmity.

"Zhang Wei, you're looking for death, aren't you!"

She finally couldn't help it, and cursed in a vicious tone.

"Yo ho, what's wrong with Host Cheng? Why are your eyes killing people?"

Zhang Wei originally accompanied Yang Chuanfang, but when he saw Cheng Lisha getting angry, he immediately sarcastically said something.

At the same time, the media reporters who were about to leave the hearing around the hearing table saw the smell of gunpowder here, and they all became energetic.

We get up early and stay late, isn't this what we've been waiting for?

Hurry up, quarrel, hurry up.

No, it's better to fight, so that today's headlines will be there.

Because the judge has left the seat and the pre-trial has ended, filming tools can now be used in the courtroom.

Many people even took out their mobile phones and video recording equipment, ready to broadcast live.

"Lawyer Hu, please ask your client for me, is she going to threaten my personal safety just now?"

Zhang Wei looked at Hu Yaode with a sneer on his face.

It was you who provoked me first, Cheng Lisha, you have to think about where this place is, and how many media reporters are staring at you.

"Ms. Cheng, if you can't bear it, you can make big plans. Even if you are upset with this kid, you can't get angry in this kind of place!"

"But this kid wants to summon me as a witness, how can I swallow this breath?"

"We'll figure out a solution to the summons later, but you must not lose your tongue here!"

In front of Zhang Wei, the two chatted in a low voice.

"Hmph, I'll let you off once today, but I hope you don't regret it!"

Cheng Lisha finally followed Hu Yaode's suggestion, threw down a harsh word, and left immediately.

"Lawyer Zhang, we Heizu also hope that you will play well and fight for the next trial, so that you can dance for a while longer!"

Hu Yaode also said a word of "come on and encourage" to Zhang Wei, and then left with Cheng Lisha with his men.

"Thank you Lawyer Hu for your encouragement, I will definitely play well!"

Zhang Wei sneered, but secretly thought it was a pity.

Although Lisa Cheng was a poor person, she was a celebrity after all, and she knew how to be concerned about her status, so she didn't get mad on the spot.

Otherwise, maybe, today, Cheng Lisha can recover a lot of interest.

"Young Master Yang, let's go too!"

Zhang Wei took Yang Chuanfang and left the court quickly.

As for the surrounding media reporters, they were disappointed when they saw that the master had left the venue.

I came to the preliminary review today, and I saw such a little thing. How do I submit the manuscript when I go back?

There was none of the expected friction scenes.

The disappointment was full, and the media were very unhappy.

...

That afternoon.

Zhang Wei was still thinking about countermeasures in the office, but he received a notice from the court.

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

He immediately left the law firm and rushed to the city court.

In Lao Wang's office, he naturally saw Judge Wang, but Hu Yaode was still there.

Lao Wang is also having a headache at the moment, but seeing Zhang Wei, he still gave up the office space to the two.

"Lawyer Zhang is here, so I'll explain it directly!"

Hu Yaode said, took out a psychological diagnosis certificate, and threw it directly to Zhang Wei.

"Lawyer Zhang, and Judge Wang, this is a psychological diagnosis issued by a psychologist."

"My client, Ms. Cheng Lisha, has become slightly depressed due to the pressure of online public opinion in the past few days. The doctor also issued this certificate."

"I can tell you two that my client's condition is very unsuitable to appear in court. The attending doctor and several psychologists wrote a joint report to inform the court of this situation."

Hearing this notice, Zhang Wei smiled slightly.

"It's so fast. I just entrusted the court to issue a subpoena in the morning, and you finished the 'authoritative report' in the afternoon. You spent a lot of money, right?"

"Lawyer Zhang, I don't understand what you're going to say. I only know that my client has been under tremendous psychological pressure recently, and her mental state is on the verge of collapse at any time. Even her column group has been shut down recently. Please don't Random guesses!"

Hu Yaode said these words in a tone of righteousness, as if Cheng Lisha had really suffered a huge psychological trauma.

But both Judge Wang and Zhang Wei knew that this was the method of Cheng Lisha and Hu Yaode.

The medical certificates issued by authoritative medical institutions, especially the psychological ones, actually have the most loopholes.

Because of psychological conditions, there can be many results, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to judge.

"So, Lawyer Zhang and Judge Wang, I would like to inform you that although my client would like to testify in court and fulfill her duties and obligations as a citizen, her mental health does not allow her to do so."

"So as a witness for the defense, please don't force me any more. I also hope that the court can understand the mental pressure my client has suffered recently. I believe that Judge Wang will not force others to do so, right?"

As Hu Yaotuo spoke, he looked at Pharaoh.

"Okay, since your client is like this, this court will naturally not force her to do so!"

Pharaoh had no choice but to agree in the end.

Cheng Lisha's appearance in court to testify could only be shelved.
